I am merging my love of watercolour and ink with my love for paper cutting to bring you my whole new series of work...Each piece is an interchangeable piece of art ....all you have to do is change the background to get a whole new look....I suggest you always use an acid free backing in any colour your heart desires....Have fun changing it to fit your décor needs or the changing seasons…

This photo is taken against a window to show all the cut out details....

This first piece was created for my wonderful friend Michelle....It is titled "Dreaming"

Here is the piece framed ....

I will have 3 new pieces that will be available in my Etsy Shopon Monday October 27th ...

Hope you pop by and see the new pieces...

I am also submitting this on Mixed Media Monday...the theme this week is "Lock and Key" for me the the key is my knife and scissors and the locks are the cutouts.....Opened by the key...my knife and scissors....

Fashion week was so much fun! I am thrilled that we were able to check out some great shows and enjoy some great laughs with friends....This is a photo of Me, Monika (my sister in law) and our best friend Michelle.....

I thought I would share a few photos from the XS show. We had so much fun....we also got gift bags filled with treats....You can see Monika's evening dress that she received in her SWAG bag....I got a cool black and white spring summer dress and a bunch of other treats....

It was a great time and even better with the great company....and now for a few of the fashions...

This is a Judge from the Show...So you think you can dance...she made an appearance with some dancers that performed for all the guests....

This is everyone checking out the gift bags......Monika's awesome evening dress....

My Brother and I....he loved the show too and the great music.....

Well I would love to add more...but I think I will stop while I am ahead...lol

I have a special place in my heart for bee keepers and bees...they are amazing little creatures that are so important .....When I was growing up my Dad kept several hives in our forest...he was a wonderful bee keeper....He was so passionate about his bees he would visit them each and every day....Harvesting honey was fun....I will have to hunt down some photos to share with you all....

Today's illustration is Emily , she has been voted the "Top Bee Keeper" in her town. She knows that today she has to do some repairs to the hive....and the only way to calm the bees is to get out her smoker....

Have a wonderful day!!!

oh and Fashion week was awesome...I have a ton of photos I will try to get up here over the weekend....

This week's theme on the Arty Girlz Challenge Blog is Blue and Orange....My two signature colours are blue and orange so it was so much fun to work on a new painting today and also to include one of my Neck Art Pendants.

The painting is titled "Paris Couture" as it is the heart of fashion and beauty....

My pendant is inspired by all the coffee lovers...it just makes me feel warm to share a cup of great coffee with a bunch of great friends....

These are available in my Etsy Shop! Hope you pop by and enjoy all of my work...If you purhcase something , mention blog visit in the comments section of your purchase and you will get an extra special surprise.
